Hello.
I seem to be one of the unlucky who bought an Archos 8 Home Tablet, after which I found out it's NOT listed on the support page of Archos (anymore?) and there's nothing helpfull i can find for it to get it working properly.
Before you start shouting at me what kind of noob I am .. I used the search function for about 3 hours, but all that comes up are threads about the Archos 7HT, nót the 8HT.
I found some french site (thanks to google chrome's built-in translator, because my french is very bad) which offers a custom rom for the 8HT, but when I start up RKAndroid(ENG).exe, it tells me 'no player found'. Same goes for the BatchUpgrade version of RKAndroid.
All I want is to use certain apps (such as xfire mobile (xfmobile), e-reader apps and stuff) that are not installed by default on the 8HT and which cannot be found on the AppsLib app. I also would like to have the original market to be installed.
I wonder why Archos decided to close down everything on this tablet. I paid 168 euro for this device, but I haven't had any pleasure using it so far (bought it 2 days ago). It's making me SO #&*^$ MAD.
So eh ... is there anyone who's willing to help me with it (maybe use teamviewer to do it for me or so) to get it working the way it should be ?
BTW, I followed the instructions on that french page to get it to be recognised by the RKAndroid app, but nothing works ..
It is recognised by W7 Ultimate X64 btw, but it shows the content of the 4GB internal storage.
It also doesn't show up in RKAndroid when I reset the device by clicking on the resetbutton with a paperclip ánd clicking and holding the button next to the reset-button while releasing the reset-button.
I feel hopeless. I like the 8HT more than the 7HT (which I had about 5 months ago but brought it back cuz I didnt like the 16:9 screen), because I would also like to use it as a photoframe.
Please help me ... Thanks in advance.
any one please ?
Hi All,
I picked up a Soniq 32" Lcd last weekend and it runs android. I have been trying unsuccessfully to root this device. There is no usb debugging option so I am unable to use Z4 or alike.
I also have been trying to get the official maketplace installed by it keeps crashing.... anyone had any experience with these??
Thanks
BEn
Maybe try apps like this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...EsImNvbS5icmlhbmYyMS5udGhpZGRlbnNldHRpbmdzIl0.
To enable the hidden usb debuggin?
APK
Any Idea how to get the APK file?
Developer has it on his blog:
http://brianf21.blogspot.ca/
advancedservers, haven't worked out how to get the market on the soniq yet, but I found a way to install apps, just drop them onto a flash drive and then install them through the file manager in all apps. hope this helps.
Has anyone successfully rooted this android TV?
I have a Soniq E55V13A with Android 4.2.1
I know a few people have had trouble getting the TV Launcher on to it which skips the annoying cinavision front page and goes straight to TV.
The proper Soniq TV Launcher that you want is not in the Google play store as far as I can tell even though it is freely available in the Soniq cinavision market.
Here is the apk backed up from mine if you're having trouble getting it.
You can put it on a usb drive and install it from there.

The apk link still works for me and I was able to install it on my phone. Maybe try a different browser?
Bumping an old thread
Hi All,
I have the Soniq S55V14B-AU Running the original Android Firmware (Not sure how to find this). By now I am sure there would be a way to root this device and rid it of the cancer that is Cinavision. Can anyone help me? I don't have much cash to buy an up to date smart TV and considering this is running Android I am sure there would be a way by now to remove the trash and actually get Netflix on it.
Hope someone can help.
I gave up trying to update. I don't think Soniq ever released a decent update and even their website for updates is broken.
I vaguely remember being able install some apks via usb, maybe even root, but I doubt you will ever find an open source version of android built for your model.
Your best bet would be to get a Chromecast/Fire Stick/Roku etc. and use all the streaming features from there through HDMI. In fact you should definitely not connect the TV to the internet. It's so full of security holes that I've seen a report from at least one user who had ransomware take over his Soniq TV.

HI!,
I can not help you at the moment , I'm new and I have no experience, so if I have a problem similar to yours.
I bought a similar device with Android 2.3 and has a few problems, some serious and others not so much. :silly:
What I have wanted is to change the Android OS by WinCW 6.0, I think this is the most reliable time the Android, in addition to better display screens in Android is very poor in this regard, but I do not know if this is possible .
It is an extensive list of problems, but the more I dislike (also the GPS IGO, the bottom image is cropped) is that the unit can operate the DVR front camera, but running it is very erratic and unstable.
The seller tried to start to solve but then I did not respond more and presented other problems and I had no more response.
Greetings.
Hello All,
I just recently purchased a new Lenovo A808t smartphone, and boy is she a beauty...only problem is I can't get her to communicate with me in English. Well, kinda. I was able to change the android language output, so every basic function on the phone is in English, however, all the apps, and more complicated functions seem to be in chinese with no apparent way to change it. Kinda just wanting to get it back to basic android operating system with a google play store and then I can restock it with everything I want from there. Any ideas about how I can go about doing that? I'm a noob rooter, I've only done it once, and I'm a little worried about doing it with this new phone since I haven't seen anything out there on the interweb about rooting said phone. I'm open to ideas though. Oh, and in case it's important, the android system being run is 4.4.2. Thanks!

Hi, I have recently purchased a Xiaomi laser projector. I like it a lot. It has the same menu as Chinese version of xiaomi mi box. The problem is that the projectors menu is in Chinese as well. I have made a little review on the menu here https://youtu.be/yPDoM2FYekE but I really want android 7, or at least 6 but a European version. Does anyone here knows someone who participates in building these roms so I can ask them??
you can install an English setup app
I am interested in buying this projector too, I saw an YouTube video saying there was a software that you can install to alter the setup setting so that there are in English. If you have not already seen them, I may try to play around with the android version however it may just be easier to attach it to another box such as the android shield TV and use it that way instead of killing yourself with Chinese apps and trying to upgrade Android.
It's pretty easy to change to English and install any app you want. I installed YouTube but you can't sign into an account due to no Google services pre installed. It's super responsive and great picture quality. It would be awesome if someone has a chance to make a rom for it or work out a way to get the play store and a launcher to run on it
I have exactly the same problem.
Although you can install an app to change the language to English, 95% of the ROM is still in Chinese.
This device is not even listed in XDA-developers long list of devices. I am not sure how many developers will spend 1500+$ to buy, develop and test roms on this projector.
It would be great to have an international ROM based on Android TV similar to the Mi Android Box.
Meanwhile, I connect my chromecast to the projector and it works just fine. Of course, this means that I am not using any of the "Smart" functionalities of the device.
hey if someone found an answer I would really love to know too. Got some english which is fine, but the miui tv version 1.3.63 on android 6.0.1 is a pain to have. Bloat ware apps everywhere that just reappear on uninstall.
Also no playstore is an issue. The netflix I have is not really fitted to screen size and also remote does not reach certain parts. so its cut off.
I dare not meddle with it at the moment, becasue I think the software can maybe root and do something about it? But what about the hdmi and av inputs. I am just worried if i meddle with it, I lose these inputs.
HELP if someone found an answer I would really love to know too. The miui tv version 1.3.63 on android 6.0.1 is dead the playstore not work in this version. HELP

You could try aptoide tv which is a play store alternative , you may need to side load it.
Unfortunately I do not have this device to try and create a ROM and I have never created one.
I get the impression its not that hard, I would just make a backup of the exiting Android should things go bad and then try Lineage OS which you can download for free. If I am not being clear I am talking about using a custom ROM with the latest Android Lineage OS.. I did this on an old Kindle tablet and had no issue. Well maybe I am not being completely truthful my first attempt at flashing I almost bricked the device, it took at lot of nerve and patience to make it work. Here a link below with more details on Flashing as I am not talking about an old man in a long rain coat.

Hello everyone!
The 12 september xiaomi will release a version of the mi laser projector for eu with oreo 8.0 and android tv, i have the projector in chinese version, are there any chance to bring the update on my device? At least it would be a simple flash of a oreo rom, or not?
Hi!
I also have Chinese version and would love to install the firmware for EU.
Normally the update should work via the USB with downloaded FW. So if Xiaomi publish the update we can give it a try. The question is whether the FW will check the region or any other thing before installation?
In the meantime, is there any manual how to make a backup or rooting via the Android Development on PC?
Hi,
I have the Chinese version with just a little bit English settings I would love to have the eu rom
what would be needed that someone can help us to get the EU-Rom on the China- Version?

There may be some hope for your request as on Oct 06, 2018 a user @servo386 was able to use abd and TWRP (loaded but not installed) to make a Nandroid copy of his v01 ROM (Chinese version). A few users have encouraged him to post on XDA. He is currently refining the process and trying to install Magisk for full root.
You need to be aware that the Android Oreo full English ROM, for this projector, has some draw backs. One of the biggest is that Xiaomi Oreo likely did a rush software job as they have dropped some very important projector specific settings/functionality. Primary to a lot of users is that 3D is no longer an option and that color correction controls are lacking between the two ROMS. On the other hand you do get working Google Playstore integration.
Also despite the recent success of @servo386 no TWRP nandroid backup of the Oreo version currently exists nor has the method used by @servo386 been tried by a Oreo Mi PJ owner. It's still encouraging news though.
All right, you can see the european version test here : http://www.passionhomecinema.fr/blo...iaomi-dlp-version-francaise-lavis-de-gregory/

Just in case it might be useful, here's an app I made to access engineering menu.
I have this projector and I wasn't able to install Google Services on it. I tried very many versions. Currently Im using it with Chromecast connected to its HDMI port. But I would love to see some custom ROM for it.
Android 8 Dolby/DTS
My international Projector has Android 8. I have problems with DTS and Dolby on the AVR. Here only stereo arrives. Whether Netflix, Plex, Media Server ... Sometimes restarts help. With another Android TV box directly on the AVR it works flawlessly. That is very disappointing.

Here is a more active forum with many owners of this projector both the V1 and V2 (international) models. You are likely to have better luck with that forum's thread. This one is more oriented to modding the projector's OS than Home Theater related experiences such as your describing. At the very least the owners can tell you if they have similar experiences or not.
